Problem
The internal light is
warm even though the
door has not been
opened for a while (only
applies to appliances
with a freezer compart-
ment).
Cause and remedy
This is not a fault! This appliance has a winter setting:
If the room temperature drops below 18 °C, the com-
pressor will switch on less frequently if the winter set-
ting is not activated and the temperature in the
freezer compartment will get too warm. If the room
temperature is below 18 °C, switching on the winter
setting will automatically switch the light on even
when the door is closed. This warms up the refriger-
ator compartment causing the compressor to switch
on more frequently and enable the freezer to get suf-
ficiently cold again.
If the room temperature drops below 10 °C the appli-
ance will not function properly even with the winter
setting activated! Increase the ambient room temper-
ature in this case!
